Inhaltsangabe

This book is aimed at researchers and PhD studentsin mathematical finance. It studies the pricing andhedging of options in ¿nancial markets withproportional transaction costs on trading in shares,modeled as bid-ask spreads, and different interestrates for borrowing and lending of cash. This isdone by means of fair pricing and super-hedging.The fair price of an option is any market price forit that does not allow traders to make profit withno risk, and a super-hedging strategy allows theseller and buyer to remain in a solvent positionafter respectively delivering and receiving theoption payoff. Efficient algorithms are presentedfor computing the bid and ask prices of European andAmerican options; these prices serve as bounds onthe fair prices. This unifies all existing algorithmsfor the calculation of such prices. As a by-product,a straightforward iterative method is found fordetermining the optimal super-hedging strategies(and stopping times) for both the buyer and sellerof an option, and also optimal stopping strategiesin the case of American options.
